Active Pet

While players are expected to be able to have several pets, you can only have 4 pets active in your current Pet Battle Array. Your Active Pets contributes their Attack, Defense, and any special abilities when in Guild Battles and fighting monsters.

There are several ways to switch Active Pets:

• Go to the Pets tab from the main navigation and then click on the Set button to change the Battle Array on the current loadout (use horizontal slider to see links 4 and 5).
  • Click the Link 1 box to activate, and then the pet you wish to use (to change an existing pet, click the box, then 'Remove Pet.' Select new pet to fill spot). Be sure to click 'Save Change' when finished to save update.
  • Click the Link 2 box to activate, and then the pet you wish to use (to change an existing pet, click the box, then 'Remove Pet.' Select new pet to fill spot). Be sure to click 'Save Change' when finished to save update.
• Go to the Loadouts tab from the Keep menu and select the loadout to update.
  • Click the Pets section and update following same instructions as above. You must Save Change to each link box for the update to work.
• Click the Link options from the home page, next to the preview of your current General and Loadout.

Each pet has different Attack and Defense stats which helps determine your battle power in duels and they each add their own special ability, which has one of a variety of effects on gameplay.

Pet Types/Race

Each pet is classified as one of three types: Faerie, Dragon, or Demon. These types affect the materials necessary to power up pets at certain levels (multiples of 5), pet attribute bonuses, and pets race buff when hunting certain monsters.

Pet Attribute Bonus

Each race will contribute different attribute bonuses as they are equipped based on their levels. For example, if rabbit (level 35) is in battle (in active loadout) and viper (level 28) is in battle, you will receive all bonuses up to Faerie level 30 bonus and up to Demon level 20 bonus. If you have multiple of the same race in battle, your bonus will be the sum of their levels. For example, if rabbit (level 35) and forest faerie (level 25) are in battle (in your linked loadout), their combined level is 60. You will receive all bonuses up to level 60 bonus as listed below for Faerie.

Monster Hunting Race Buff

"Race Buff" is a new monster hunting mechanic first introduced during 13th Anniversary on Anniversary Boss: Lord of Inferno. Since then, it's reoccurring on every anniversary boss, Nightmare Monsters, and some of newly introduced monsters like Lucifer.

There are three different bonuses, one for each pet race. Each race bonus have one or multiple threshold values defined, which determine bonus strength. To get certain bonus - sum of pet levels of the same race in active battle array have to reach specified threshold.

Linking Pets

Linking pets together provides additional pet and player attack and defense bonus stats (player bonus can be seen by viewing the items contributing to the green stats from Keep). Much the same as general linking, pets of different types/race can be linked together, but may reduce buffs when fighting monsters that provide Race Buffs.

Each Link position grants different % of pet attack and defense values. Additionally you get +10% on links that have pet of the same race as Link 1.

Link 1	Link 2	Link 3	Link 4	Link 5
+100%	+50%	+50%	+33%	Locked

Only 4 pets can be linked at this time. Developers will open additional links with future events.

Pet Levels

Pets can become stronger by increasing their experience points and leveling them. When a pet gains a level, its attack and defense will increase. Their special ability will improve every fifth level. Every pet begins at level 1, and can be raised to level 5. In order to advance past level 5, the pet level cap must be raised (maximum level of 60).

Pet Level Up

To level up, you must reach a certain amount of experience using leveling crystals obtained from the Elf Mine (located on main page). Select 'North of the Elf Mine' to earn upgrade crystals. These crystals can be used toward the pet of your choice to increase the pets experience points. As your Mining skill level increases, you will be able to earn more crystals with each excavation. Medium and Large crystals will become available based on mining level and length of excavation time.

• : Small upgrade crystal: 25 experience
• : Medium upgrade crystal: 100 experience
• : Large upgrade crystal: 500 experience

Pet Power Up

To increase the pet level cap, you must mine for the elements indicated in the pet stats. Mining will provide element dust that must be alchemized to create the crystals needed to power up. Power up cost depends on pet race (see tables below). Clicking the Power Up button will also allow you to preview the stats for the next level cap (each cap will increase the limit by 5 levels, with increased crystals needed for each cap raise).

• : Earth element crystal is alchemized from 10 earth element dust.
• : Fire element crystal is alchemized from 5 fire element dust.
• : Water element crystal is alchemized from 5 water element dust.
• : Wind element crystal is alchemized from 10 wind element dust.

Pet Promotion and Stages

When a player owns multiple copies (eggs) of a pet, each duplicate egg will shatter into 30 soul shards when the egg is consumed from the Keep. These shards can be used to promote the pet from the PETS tab. Promoting pets grants them a boost in stats, as well as a boost in ability level if their ability has power upgrades. For example, a 2* pet at level 5 would have the same ability as a 1* pet at level 10 (needs to be verified). The boosts are displayed in the table below.

Promotion is completed in stages. Each stage will increase either the pet attack/defense, or their skill. Select the pet to promote and click on the different stages (third row) to determine the number of soul shards needed, and a preview of what attribute will be increased. When you have enough soul shards, click the Promote button (soul shards are unique to each pet, your current inventory will be displayed below the Promote button). If you do not have enough soul shards for the pet selected, you will receive the message 'Conversion failed.'

If promotion is successful, the pet will advance to a higher stage. Once all stages are completed, the pet will gain another star. At this time, soul shards can only be obtained by eggs from the Oracle (for oracle pets) or special events.

Favor pets (bought from the Oracle pet shop) are capped at 8 eggs*, it is unknown if eggs will be available for purchase in the Mystic Emporium.
